Burning fossil fuel and human survivability limits
‘Non-survivable’: heatwaves are already breaching human limits, with worse to come, study finds
"Extreme heat is already creating “non-survivable” conditions for humans in heatwaves that have killed thousands and likely many more, according to new research that warns people are more susceptible to rising temperatures than first thought."
"Climate studies have found that heatwaves are lasting longer and delivering higher temperatures around the world."
“The fact we are so close to physiological limits means that mitigating higher temperatures is essential to humans still being able to live and thrive in the hottest and most humid places, including the top end of Australia and much of the tropics, but especially in India and the Middle East. >>

Lives disrupted and stunted by ongoing climate disasters
"Unicef-commissioned report shows being unable to finish high school – and the associated wage loss – is the most significant impact of increasingly frequent disasters on young people. Experts and advocates fear the lifelong consequences facing young people are being overlooked in disaster responses as what were previously known as “one-in-a-hundred years” disasters increase in frequency and severity."
"Unicef Australia is calling for the government to create a policy framework to support young people during and after natural disasters. “[We need] a better plan around the things that children need, around education and having enough supports to help them with their mental health if they’re traumatised by an event."

The claim is circulating that antidepressants can cause overheating and dehydration. This is a genuine public health message, but it's not so simple: diuretics, beta blockers, ACE inhibitors, antipsychotics, and some antihistamines may also interact badly with hot weather.
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/15/well/live/heat-weather-medication-safety.html (excerpt in a reply)There's even doubt about antidepressants having this effect. A recent paper in eClinicalMedicine looked at all the studies they could find and concluded that there wasn't evidence of antidepressants causing overheating in hot weather - though some other medicines do.
"Current evidence supports strong anticholinergics, non-selective beta-blockers, adrenaline, and anti-Parkinson’s agents impairing thermoregulation during heat stress ... physicians should interpret with caution conventional public health messaging related to the thermoregulatory effects of some drugs (e.g., antidepressants) during hot weather."

The map shows which areas are accessible from public transport stops in #Heidelberg on a hot sunny day for heat-sensitive people, e. g. the elderly and children.
The colored areas indicate the distance these people can walk before experiencing #HeatStress. The smaller the area, the higher the sun exposition.

‘Silent killer’: A series on surviving the extremely hot future
What happens if the world gets too hot for animals to survive?
"This is not something that human beings or other animals can rapidly evolve out of."
By Matthew Huber | July 20, 2022
"[In June 2022], during a slow-moving #HeatWave that smothered much of the United States, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment reported at least 2,000 cattle had died from heat stress. In 2021, as the Pacific Northwest sweltered under a heat dome, more than 650,000 farm animals perished in British Columbia alone. And in 2015, a deadly heat wave in India killed more than 17 million chickens.
"Hot, humid conditions can lead to massive heat casualties in animals—in #livestock as well as #WildAnimals. These events will become more extensive, longer lasting and more damaging as the world warms, potentially threatening economies and #ecosystems. While many studies have demonstrated the impact of individual events or gradual trends in #HeatStress on livestock, there is a Panglossian tendency among many working in livestock agriculture to believe in a nearly infinite capacity for modern agricultural practices and breeding to overcome heat-stress induced challenges.
"Much of the warming that has occurred in places like the United States or Europe can be dealt with through breeding in key traits from variants from warm countries like India or North Africa. But as high heat conditions travel beyond the upper ranges of temperatures recently experienced (over the past few thousand years) in North Africa, India, or South America, there will limited genetic diversity to draw upon to prepare for these conditions. There are temperature ceilings that humans and mammals (and many other animals) cannot survive, if breached. What those limits are, and what happens when they are crossed, will have profound implications for agriculture and #biodiversity in a warming world."

While many studies have demonstrated the impact of individual events or gradual trends in #HeatStress on livestock, there is a Panglossian tendency among many working in livestock agriculture to believe in a nearly infinite capacity for modern agricultural practices and breeding to overcome heat-stress induced challenges.
"Much of the warming that has occurred in places like the United States or Europe can be dealt with through breeding in key traits from variants from warm countries like India or North Africa. But as high heat conditions travel beyond the upper ranges of temperatures recently experienced (over the past few thousand years) in North Africa, India, or South America, there will limited genetic diversity to draw upon to prepare for these conditions. There are temperature ceilings that humans and mammals (and many other animals) cannot survive, if breached. What those limits are, and what happens when they are crossed, will have profound implications for agriculture and #biodiversity in a warming world."

‘Silent killer’: A series on surviving the extremely hot future
What happens if the world gets too hot for animals to survive?
"This is not something that human beings or other animals can rapidly evolve out of."
By Matthew Huber | July 20, 2022
"[In June 2022], during a slow-moving #HeatWave that smothered much of the United States, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment reported at least 2,000 cattle had died from heat stress. In 2021, as the Pacific Northwest sweltered under a heat dome, more than 650,000 farm animals perished in British Columbia alone. And in 2015, a deadly heat wave in India killed more than 17 million chickens.
"Hot, humid conditions can lead to massive heat casualties in animals—in #livestock as well as #WildAnimals. These events will become more extensive, longer lasting and more damaging as the world warms, potentially threatening economies and #ecosystems. While many studies have demonstrated the impact of individual events or gradual trends in #HeatStress on livestock, there is a Panglossian tendency among many working in livestock agriculture to believe in a nearly infinite capacity for modern agricultural practices and breeding to overcome heat-stress induced challenges.
